something like this maybe ...

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       Dim sReader As IO.StreamReader '///use the System.IO.StreamReader / System.IO.StreamWriter rather than the FreeFile method.
       Dim path As String = "C:\myFile.txt"
       Dim sLine As String
       Try
           sReader = New IO.StreamReader(New IO.FileStream(path, IO.FileMode.Open))
           While Not sReader.Peek
               sLine = sReader.ReadLine
               Select Case sLine.Split("=")(0) '/// the text to the left of the = symbol.
                   Case "loan"
                       MessageBox.Show(sLine.Split("=")(1)) '/// the value at the right of the = symbol.
                       '/// do what you want to the value ( eg: add to textbox called Loan )
                   Case "interest"
                       MessageBox.Show(sLine.Split("=")(1))
                       '/// and so on...
               End Select
           End While
           sReader.Close()
       Catch ex As Exception
           MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
       End Try
   End Sub
